really exciting updates.
1. we have been playing a lot of boggle lately. i seriously love that game. it's probably not that fun to play with me, though. i'm the one who looks up everyone's words in the dictionary, refuses a re-shake when there are no vowels, and plays strictly according to the rules {NO proper nouns, people!}.
2. i chopped my hair off and i'm loving it. maybe you'll actually see me without a pony tail now.
3. we went to see into the woods at hale centre theatre last night with our mothers. i really enjoyed it, but it was too long in my opinion. and we couldn't really figure out the moral of the story. i could have done without the entire 2nd act. the costumes & set were great, though. and the princes were hilarious. sean sat behind us between 2 old ladies.
4. i am mad at mcdonalds! so remember last year when i was obsessively collecting all of the madame alexander wizard of oz toys from their happy meals? yeah, so i have them all and i love them {ok, they just sit in a drawer at home}. so NOW they came out with a whole new set of them! what??!!! now my set is outdated and incomplete. i'm going to have to buy the whole set on ebay again. even though my set is cuter.
5. i finally got out some fall decorations. i'm getting REALLLLLY excited for halloween. i don't know why i love it so much. i don't even usually dress up or anything. i just really like jack-o-lanterns or something.
6. i have noticed that i start most every sentance with "I". is that a bad sign?
7. and also... i have been listening to Lucky, by Jason Mraz {featuring Colbie Caillat} on repeat and i love it.

conference weekend.

This has to have been the most amazing general conference ever! I think mostly it has to do with the fact that we were up at the cabin with very few distractions. So I actually sat down and watched every minute of the Saturday sessions {which I'm sorry to say I hardly ever do} in addition to the Sunday sessions. I loved everything I heard this weekend. Especially Elder Perry's talk about simplifying our lives and all of the other talks in the Saturday morning session. And the announcement about the new temples! I can't wait for the Ensign to come out next month. It was such a relaxing {and lazy} weekend. The weather up at the cabin was PERFECT: rainy & snowy! And the leaves up there are gorgeous. I love Fall. Too bad it only lasts for a few short weeks here in Utah :(

useless information friday.
Due to popular demand {not really}, I'm posting more useless information. Really it's because I haven't had anything interesting or fun to post about lately. So here you go.
In the Middle Ages, Japanese women painted their teeth black to look more beautiful.
Between the years 1992 and 1994, the town of Avon, Colorado, held an annual Bobfest for people named Bob. In 1995, however, the series ended. It's founder and organizer, Tom Britz, announced that he was tired of running it. "I met one bad Bob," he said, "and it spoiled the bunch."
Kangaroos and Emus cannot walk backwards, which is why they were selected to appear on the Australian coat of arms.
On May 6, 1996, gondoliers in Venice stopped serenading passengers following a ruling that singing would turn them into freelance musicians and therefore liable to contribute to a state pension fund.
In 1999 in the United States, 907 people took out insurance against turning into vampires or werewolves.
In Turkey, the turkey is called the "American bird".
A day on Mars lasts twenty-four hours and thirty-seven minutes, almost the same as an Earth day, but a year is 686.7 Earth days.
A poll in the United States in 1997 revealed that 92 percent of respondents believed that space aliens are already living among us.
February is the only month that can pass without a full moon. This last happened in 1999 and will next happen in 2018.
Walt Disney originally called Mickey, Mortimer Mouse, but his wife Lillian thought Mortimer sounded pompous and suggested Mickey instead.
